T-ara (also known as Tiara or 티아라) is a 6-member girl group out of Core Contents Media. The same entertainment agency in which artists like Davichi and SG Wannabe are in. T-ara debuted on July 29th 2009 on MBC's 'Golden Fishery', they are the first group to debut on a variety TV show. T-ara's members are Eunjeong (the leader), Hyomin, Jiyeon, Soyeon, Qri, and Boram.

Before the 6-member T-ara, T-ara was a 5-member girl group. Early June 2009 two months before the girls' official debut, former leader Jiae and member Jiwon quit the group. They believed that the concept of T-ara did not match them. Immediately after, Jeon Boram, the daughter of Jeon Youngrok was added into T-ara. Three weeks before T-ara's official debut, Soyeon and Qri were added into T-ara. Thus making T-ara a 6-member girl group.

Edit:It was announced on July 2010 that T-ara will be adding a 7th member, Ryu Hwa Young, to their group. Also, leadership has changed from Eunjung to Boram by Core Contents Media's idea of having a yearly leadership rotation in order to give every member an opportunity to shine. This "Reborn T-ara" is set to make a comeback in September 2010 with a 2nd album.

^Thanks for the links! Like the First Time is my favorite song. I totally didn't notice that Hyomin had "freckles" and she was reading that book upside in the beginning and was missing a shoe a few seconds later. LoL Ah, the details. Do you have the 15+ ver. MV of Bo Peep Bo Peep? I like that version better...

-------------This was Boram's (aka shorty) single from when she was a soloist in 2008. She's my favorite member, but it kinda sucks that she gets overshadowed by the others cuz she's so short. Some of T-ara's more upbeat poppy songs don't seem suitable for her voice, hope she gets more parts.

^LoL I think it's because she's running with one shoe. This week's episodes T-ara cameos again (without Soyeon, she got hit with the swine flu and couldn't film) and this time they're at a club. Dunno what's going on since I'm only on ep. 3 subbed and this is ep. 10 LoL but seems like Jiyeon's character went to the dark side and did some partying at the club...with a pole at that. They let 16 year olds in the club? Can't find a video clip but here's a pic...

.......

Meanwhile, T-ara has started their own reality show in which they have they open their own online shopping mall. If you're familiar with Kara Bakery, the concept is the same...they have to do everything by themselves! Here's the 1st episode. No Jiyeon though. I think this is where they have 3 hours to do some research for their online shopping mall. So that's why they're running around frantically like a killer's after them. There's some segment where each member talks about their favorite thing, I guess. Hyomin's is photography and shows off her awesome camera collection. Boram seems to be about eating but props to her for having bags of Philippine dried mangos out on display. Looks like fun, hope it turns out well.

It's actually a 334MB .wmv, not a 1gb .tp but the quality is still good. [MU]

LoL I thought this pic was cute/funny. T-ara with beer, except Jiyeon who has vodka water. It's kinda strange seeing idols drinking esp. a cute group like T-ara. I don't even like beer much but they make it seem cool/cute.
